MAN Truck & Bus has commissioned MAHLE, a Stuttgart-based firm, to supply automotive components for the hydrogen engine of its MAN hTGX truck, featuring a direct-injection engine with 383kW power output. MAHLE's hydrogen power cell unit comprises key components like pistons, piston rings, piston pins, cylinder liners, and parts for the valve train. The successful testing of these components has demonstrated their high maturity level and suitability for series production in modern hydrogen engine technology. MAN plans to roll out approximately 200 hydrogen trucks, with the first units expected to be delivered in 2025 in countries like the Netherlands, Norway, Iceland, and other non-European regions. Notably, the 56kg hydrogen tank of these trucks can be refueled in just 15 minutes with hydrogen compressed to 700 bar, enhancing convenience and efficiency. Dr. Roger Busch from MAHLE praised the company's century-old experience in engine components, stating that their advanced pistons and other parts are making internal combustion engines fit for hydrogen, contributing to a climate-neutral solution that meets customer expectations in terms of performance, efficiency, and service life.
